Secrets of yoga
U go on changing jobs, changing houses, partners within 3 years.This constant change simply says that ur mind is feverish. U cannot stay long at anything; then ur whole life become a life of continuous change - as if a tree is being uprooted again and again and again, and never gets the right time to send its roots deep down into the earth. The tree will be alive only in name sake. It will not be able to bloom, not possible because before flowers come, the roots have to settle first.

This roaming has to be stopped; that's the meaning of Dharana, the first step of the great synthesis of Samyama.

Samyama
In Dharana, in concentration, u bring ur mind to a focus; the object is important. U have to bring urself back again and again the object in ur consciousness

The second step is Dhyan; meditation, the object is not important anymore. It becomes secondary. Now the flow of consciousness becomes important - the very consciousness which is being poured into the object. Any object will do but ur consciousness should be poured in a continuity; there should be gaps. In Dhyan, u have to make it a continuity, an absolute continuity.

When consciousness becomes continuous, u become tremendously strong. For the first time u know what life is. For the first time the holes in ur life disappear. For the first time, u are together. Ur togetherness means the togetherness of consciousness. If ur consciousness drops is like a drop of water and not a continuity like oil, u cannot be really there. Those gaps will be a disturbance. Ur life will be very dim and faint; it will not have strength, force, energy.

Soul
Amen.
